Famous Male Gold Diggers

By Editorial Staff in Entertainment On 13th December 2016

We all know about the women who are just out for the money and pretend to be madly in love with the famous celebrity or the latest millionaire, but there are guys who do the same thing. Men can dig for gold too! Just like sugar daddies, there are sugar mamas. Sometimes, women don’t even realize they are in a gold digging relationship. Here are a few of the most famous and recognizable male gold diggers we've ever seen.

#1 Nick Cannon

Nick has become successful in his own right, but only since being married to crooner Mariah Carey. He is rumored to have began dating, then marry Mariah for her fame and cash, though they have children together now and split after an 8-year marriage. He took her money and fame and launched his own career as a rapper, actor, comedian, entrepreneur, record producer, radio and television personality. He is expecting a child with his girlfriend Brittany Bell.

#2 Kevin Federline

He dropped out of school in the ninth grade and decided he would move to Hollywood to pursue his dancing career. He was actually very good at it and danced as a background performer for many celebrities including Michael Jackson. But times gout tough. Then he met Britney Spears and persuaded her to marry him. He proposed to her with a ring she bought. They divorced two years later and now he gets $20,000 a month.

#3 Russell Brand

Katy says she learned a lesson, and a very valuable one when she married dufus Russell Brand. Russel Brand was married to Katy Perry for only 14 months. He filed for divorce at the end of 2011. He claimed that her career was keeping them apart too much, and her family and friends could not believe she even married the British humorist. The two did not sign a prenup so things were split up between them. He ended up receiving half of Katy Perry's $44 million in the settlement.

#4 Justin Theroux

Despite a career that was singular and varied long before he met Aniston, Theroux remains easy to be only vaguely aware of. He had done a few movies and wrote the screenplay for Tropic Thunder, but he met Jennifer and asked her to marry him after 11 days and she said yes. He claims he barely knew of her before their meeting on a film set, but it didn't take long to get up in her business. Now he allegedly knows exactly what she makes and is looking to become involved in her finances and wants to be her business manager.

#5 Tom Arnold

Comedian Roseanne Barr divorced her husband after meeting fellow comedian Tom Arnold at a club. She was on her way up, having just been offered a TV show, and he was going nowhere. Tom Arnold walked away with $50 million after divorcing Roseanne when their 4-year marriage ended. Her lawyers advised her to sign a prenup but she decided not to go that route. She obviously should have listened.

#6 Guy Ritchie

We all know Madonna has had a revolving door of men, and she likes them young. She's dated guys over 25 years younger than herself and is still going at it. She did marry up and coming movie director Guy Ritchie, who quit high school to become a movie assistant, and finally figured out he was only after her moolah. Guy and Madonna divorced after being married for eight years. He received between $76 to $92 million in the divorce settlement. He's now pretty famous for his films but Madonna paid for his career with her own.

#7 Kris Humphries

Remember Kris Humphries? He plays for the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA. No slouch in the money department himself, Kris was infamously married to Kim Kardashian for 72 days before she filed for divorce. He was very concerned with the luxury wedding gifts they received. He was allegedly very upset that Kim kept a $325,000 Ferrari. He still keeps in contact with her and the two are friends.

#8 Matt Rutler

Matt Rutler began dating Christina Aguilera in 2010. He was just a production assistant on Burlesque when he hit the jackpot. He went from being a nobody to being an item with one of the world's most famous somebodies. She dumped him eventually but not until after he used her for an undisclosed amount of cash, including a brand new car and motorcycle.

#9 Rossao Rubicondi

Ahhh. Donald Trump;s first wife. The one he dumped for a younger, spunkier, Marla Maples. Ivana Trump had just pulled in a HUGE, believe me, it was yuge, settlement from Trump after their divorce. Ivana married Rossao Rubicondi, who was 23 years younger than her. The two had a $3 million wedding in 2008 which she paid for. They separated eight months later but still date. Now he is just waiting around for her to die.

#10 David Gest

He married Liza Minelli and was much younger than she was. In their divorce papers, Gest claimed that Liza failed to tell him she had herpes, which nullified their prenup. He was looking to snag a large portion of Liza's $60 million fortune. Gest was married to Liza Minnelli from 2002-2003. They officially divorced in 2007. He was also known for being a close friend of the late Michael Jackson. He died broke in a London hotel earlier in 2016.

#11 Dean McDermott

Dean McDermott was an aspiring actor before he met Tori Spelling. He left his baby momma and went straight for Tori. She has inherited about $800,000 of the $500 million but maybe Dean still has hope. The couple have had 4 different reality shows together and he is an alcoholic. Tori is still suing her father, Aron Spelling's, estate for more of that cash she believes is hers.

#12 Casper Smart

She always falls for her backup dancers. Jennifer Lopez left Marc Anthony for Casper Smart. He reportedly gets a $15,000 weekly allowance. He has moved up the corporate ladder and is now Lopez's choreographer. There is a 17-year age difference between the two.

#13 Eric Johnson

Jessica Simpson is pretty naive in the love department. Jessica may not sing much anymore but she has a ton of money from her successful company and lots of saved up cash that she knew would come in handy someday. She began saving after a divorce from Nick Lachey left her nearly busted. So she began working non-stop. That works out perfect for Eric Johnson, the retired NFL player who is reportedly dating their nanny on the side. The couple has two children together and she claims she is only with Eric for their sake. Forbes says she is worth well over $155 million as of January 2016.

#14 Gabriel Aubry

Oh yes, another douche after that Kardashian blood money. When he divorced Halle Berry, he sued her for a large sum in order to take care of lawyer fees. The couple got together in 2005. They split 5 years later and got into a nasty custody battle. He won alimony and his lawyers fees and spent that time dating, and wooing Kik K. in hopes of landing some of her cash, but it never happened.

#15 Rene Elizondo

Rene Elizondo and Janet Jackson were married for eight years. He divorced her in 2000. He went for the jackpot and walked away from the relationship with $30 million.
